My Paintings or I call them “Homing Pigeons”
Click on each one to see the painting and read the story. They are divided by the years during which they were painted. Please check back occasionally as I post new ones every month or so. Unfortunately the website doesn’t allow full photo pixel density — I am currently limited to 2048 x 1536……so some of the original nuances of color are not seen here…..maybe someday I will have a one man show at a museum and you can see the originals : )
